Pick a town, any town -- be it Indianapolis, Tallahassee, even Tombstone -- because it's obviously not big enough for both the NCAA and Florida State president T.K. Wetherell. The NCAA has fired back at Wetherell, who two days ago indicated that the NCAA reneged on an agreement it had with the university in the organization's handling of the Seminoles' athletic-sanctions case. In a pregame interview Monday before the FSU-Miami game at Doak Campbell Stadium with ABC/ESPN, Wetherell described the NCAA's dealing with the Seminoles as "bait-and-switch."
In a message posted on its Web site, NCAA officials took issue with that statement and with Wetherell's assertion that the affected athletes gave up their right to due process when they accepted suspensions and began the reinstatement process for their involvement in the academic fraud case.
